Boot order

Right, i got latest redhat and WinXp

Wanna do a duel boot on a new system im buidling so i'll have a clean hardrive

I have both boot disks for both o.s'es on floppy,

What order should i go?

Last time i was messing about and put R.H on first then 2000 after, and found (thx to Maximum Smoke) that 2000 had over written the MBR

Is there a procedure i should follow, (or settings to tick when im installing the O.S's ?)

Thanks for your time,
James

I have a dual boot system, win xp and red hat, I installed win xp first, then installed red hat, red hat installed a boot manager called GRUB, and everything went OK
